About

In the sea of life, I've sailed through many storms and experienced moments where my loved ones were to throw a liferaft my way. My strength has been tested many times, yet I stand here with enough optimism to fill an ocean.

Aloha! My name is Isabella Morgan Sabado and I'm 20 years old. Born and raised on the island of Maui, HI. Some may describe me as calm, kind, and ... sensitive. Truth be told, being fearless hasn't always been my strong suit. I grew tired of allowing myself to be defined as a delicate "butterfly". From that day on, I grew hungry for adventure and ambition. Hungry for that feeling that drives many to success.

After graduating from Henry Perrine Baldwin High School with honors, I decided to get my hands dirty and become a Chef. While attending the University of Hawaii Maui College's Culinary Arts Academy, I managed to grasp the attention of the prestigious culinary school "Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts". In addition to transferring and accepting a $1,000 scholarship from their academy, I had the opportunity to obtain a diploma from their plant-based program. Currently speaking, I received two "Presidential Dean Lists" so far. This brings us to today, young and fearless. Grateful for any financial support offered.
